Product Description

Synopsis
It's Christmas Eve in New York City, and Eloise tackles it with her usual gusto and irrepressible spirit. From dressing the tree to passing out parcels, never has a child displayed such enthusiasm for life. Hilary Knight's famous illustrations and Kay Thompson's rich language simply dance off the page. As Eloise says herself, 'Oooooooooooooooooooo! I absolutely love Christmas!'

5.0 out of 5 stars Eloise With Fractured Rhymes at the Plaza, 15 May 2004
By Professor Donald Mitchell "Jesus Makes Me a P... (Boston) - See all my reviews
(TOP 10 REVIEWER)      
This review is from: Eloise at Christmastime (Hardcover)
This book is the oddball of the Eloise sequels, being the only one that also is also focused at the Plaza (like the original) and uses a rhyming scheme. Everyone who has loved Eloise must have wondered about how she fares without her mother living with her Nanny, pug (Weenie), and turtle (Skipperdee) in the Plaza on Christmas. The young woman who was born to shop (and order room service) adds a whole new meaning to Christmas for the guests at the Plaza and those who work there. If you require high quality rhymes, you may not like this book. If you can lightheartedly enjoy fractured verse, hotel high jinks, and great Hilary Knight drawings, you'll love it!

The story starts on Christmas Eve, as a blizzard blankets the Plaza, and the temperature drops to four below zero outside. But inside it's warm and cozy, and there's a blazing Yule log in Eloise's fireplace.

The story recounts Eloise's tree trimming, gift-giving to everyone she knows, getting ready for exchanging gifts on Christmas under her Christmas tree, and prowling around the Plaza on Christmas Eve in typical Eloise fashion. She hits all the parties and helps the people celebrate from room to room as well. You can imagine the mayhem that creates!

One of the most beautiful segments is Eloise dreaming about Santa Claus coming. This section will touch your heart, if you are like me.

A high point for Eloise is opening her present from Nanny. You'll love reading about it.

After you finish enjoying this warm Christmas story, I suggest that you take a few minutes to think (as Eloise does) about all of the people (and animals) you can show your appreciation for during the holidays. I'll bet Eloise inspires you to take a broader view of thankfulness. What better gift could you receive at Christmas?

Ooooooooooooooooooooooo! I absolutely love Eloise

5.0 out of 5 stars Eloise is NOT for children, it's for precocious adults, 14 Dec 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Eloise at Christmastime (Hardcover)
I read all the Eloise stories as a child and re-read them as a teenager and again, and again. My family love her and regularly quote her or 'Nahnee' in conversation. "Oh I just Loooove the Plaza"

Buy it, in fact, buy the whole series for yourself and your precocious adult friends!
